    Question Need advice please for TT (Long post)

    DD has been TT for a few months now and all was going well. She has always been great with her night time TT and never had any accidents. The last couple of weeks though she has wet her bed every night. And it's a huge wee that leaves her whole body soaking wet as well as her bed and covers.

    i stopped giving her a drink to bed incase that was it but nope she's still doing this massive wee (which i honestly dont see how can fit in her bladder!).

    The only thing that has changed is that DH stopped working night shift (3pm-11pm) and is now working day shift (5am-3pm). She is always asking where he is during the day and i think is quite upset when he does leave because she is always stalling him and has been getting into our bed during the night too cause she know he leaves early.

    But i just dont know what to do about it. She didnt wet her bed last night but she did wet our bed early this morning. DH said she didn't even wake up when she did it. So she's doing it in her sleep, which tells me it's not on purpose or for attention.

    I put her in a cloth nappy early this morning and she has not wet it. She goes to the toilet as normal during the day. She actually hates the nappy and is not happy with me which again tells me it's not an attention thing or a jealousy thing over DS cause he gets to wear pretty cloth nappies.

    At first i was mad at her for always doing it but now i feel so bad about that. I'm just not sure how to handle it at all. I dont want her back in nappies (and apparently neither does she!) but what else can i do? i can't keep washing sheets every day, we will soon run out!

    For your immediate sanity even though you don't want to at this stage, could you try nappies or as a compromise, pull ups?? They may still leak but not as much??

    And I agree that she isn't being naughty but am wondering whether her little heart/brain is struggling with no daddy during the day after such a long time of having him around?? Sometimes a major change can make things appear to be going backwards, even though technically speaking its not, its something that sometimes happens. You sound like you are handling it so amazingly well as you recognise that she isn't being bad, you are such a great mummy!! So like I said, maybe some interim measures need to be put in place just until she settles again with the new 'routine' as it were. Hth? Just my thoughts love but sending you
